My first thought was that the meds you are taking are not adjusting your sleep properly. How do you feel when you first wake up? Do you feel tired and groggy? If so, how long does it take before you feel really "awake" and alert?
Is sleeping 10-12 hours per day messing up your life schedule?
I have sleep problems, too. Sometimes it's sleeping during the wrong part of the day. Sometimes it's not sleeping enough. I started taking a med earlier this year and went straight from sleeping 3 am - 11 am to sleeping 10:30 pm - 4:30 am.

I wake up at 5:30 a.m. ok and pretty much immediately get going (have 5 cats to care for and get ready for work). I just am filled with dread at the thought of facing another day. I am on some pretty highs doses of meds and they do not bother me during the day. I just want it to go away (the depression) so I go to bed. I just sit and try and get myself to do something. I used to knit and crochet a lot and do lots of crafts, but just can't push myself although I am working on it. Trying to get outside more even just to sit and watch the birds. Getting a little better. 2 or 3 weeks ago I would have already been in bed. Maybe I will make it until 9 tonight!
